To ail IU/LIJH/I, it may concern lie it known that JOHN T. KtLL'uAInn-a citizen oi the t uilcd ,dlalcs, residing; at De.- troit. count ol' ll a ene. State of l'viichigan, haw intehtcd a certain new and useful imrox mnenl in "sliiulows for Vehicles. and dct'lill'l the i Uill Wlllg to a i llll, Cltllt. and exa t. ription. 't' the saint: such as will. enahle others skilled in the art to which it; pertains to nrahe and use the same, reference being; had to the accompanying drawings, which term a part of this specification.

d rty invention relates to windows for cars, automohiles and the like, and eonsistis in certain ii'nprovenlents hereinafter described and ed in rlaiins.

' l igure his a vertical .e .JlIMlOW t'roine' and slab of ,"the-slabin the window well l q how it is held iel'lce. Fig 1nd littmg eonstitutts the Will- I I is an illustrative portion. of the rubber window way in which the glass slab slides.

In the'drawiugs, similar letters refer to similar parts.

in the, drmvingrs, It, represents a sashless so glass, preferably of plate glass of requisite thieh'ness to insure sullicient strength. This window is not attached to or un-losecl Hi :1

:t'rame as usual, the only auxiliary feature consisting in. a clip ll attached to the upper edge by two screws 71, 7), and carrying a cross bar i projecting a sullieient distance from the face of the glass slab A to permit. the cross bar to he g'asped for the purpose of elevating or operating the window in the 49 Way.

the ordinary window guide, being); attached to the frg me work in any approprlate or proper manner; this way has a cross section shown in the upper end at lend widens out n-ojectiug strip that forms the fence over which the slab is lifted and which holds the slab in its uppermost position. Another way lil'tcd over the fence 0 single slab oi glass A is held in l). is a rubber way taking the place ofo l rubber lettered as (l and shown in Fig. 3, is also attached to the we. 1 or frame in the window well and has at its upper end a' lhn'ing groove g, which groove is continued by parallel edges g down to the bottom 5 ol lhe frame work. .lt will be seen from the showing;- in Fig. l and Fig. 3 that the strips and are comparatively thin and comporatirely deep, so that a deep grooveis formed and the rubber strips and g are'ca capable of clinging to the glass so as to retard the descent of the slab when it is dropped. It will be seen that the groove 9 in this rubber piece, (1: forms a continuation of the groove (Z in the rubber piece 1). The 'l i'ainc work F incloses the drop-recess into which the slab A may be dropped out'oif the way.

in l the slab A is shown in the window well. Vfhcn desired, the window is raised by ineans of the hand bracket B into the position shown in dotted lines and is and the lower edge of it dropped down behind this fence, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. It is obvious 50 and therefore needs no explanation that the opposite edge of the window has a frame work composed of exactly the some sortof material with the same sort of construction and rrengelnents except that'it' is reversedflili and therefore the window "consisting of a osition vand capable of the operation as hereni described.

lily invention consists in dispensing en tirely with the window sash and making the 90. window of a single slab of plate glass with an attachment; for raising and lowering, and making the. groovesin which it operateson the waysot the window of a resilient Inaterlal which shall at once protect the glass. 96 from breakage, destroy rattlingmndvibration and constitute a wind stop for superior to rigid matcrial s'ordinarily usedfor that purpose. I prefer to use rubber as this 'clings about'thc window and both excludes 10'0 .lhe weather and. prevents the toosudden drop of the slab. into the drop-recess.

l'lavingthus described my invention, what I desire to claim is I l. The combination with a framefprovided with a drop-recess or a window-well and a fence at the top of the well foriholding I "the slob when it has been \lifted out of the well, of rubber ways at the sides of the drop-recess or WindoW-well and a slab of glasshaving free edges, the said slab of glass being guided into the window-well by rubber vays that cushion it-und retard iusdescent,

substantially as described.

2. The combination with a frame provided with adrop-recess or window-well and a fence folholding the slab after it has been lifted out of the'well, of rubber ways at the sides of the drepmecess or winrhiwqvell for cushioning the glass and retarding ifs descent, a shlb'of glass having free edges and ways onthe'sicles of the window frames above the well constructed of yieldabie rna teriul adaptedhto cushion the glass and act as a weather stop, suhstnntialhl as described.-
